Home in Evansville, Ind,
Special te the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. Feb 5.-Judge Asa Tele-
hart died very Unexpectedly, at 10 o'clock to-
night He had been apparently reganing his
health and strength for several weeks past, and
to-day was pronounced better.
Judge Asa Iglehart was born Dec. s, 1917, and
consequently was sixty nine years of age at the
time of his death In his death the social, legal
and Christian element of this community has
suffered a ssraat and irreparable loss No other
man in Evansville com oinsd all these qualities
in degree equaled by the Judge He was a
great and noble specimen of man, physically,
mentally and morally. In early life he had nea-
ger opportunities of obtaining an education His
mind was early inclined to books, and what ed
ucation he received in his youth was directed
by his own and his fathers tastes AS he
grew to manhoods stature, he worked on a
farm and studied in his leisure intervals
He at one time taught school; but his labors
otherwise, were connected with agricultural pur-
suits. In lS42. he was married to Miss Anna
Cowle, of Blue Grass, Vanderburg county In
June. 1854. Mr., Iglehart was appointed Judge Of
the Court of Common Pleas, and here his talents
as jurist were so apparent that he was nomi-
mated for the same position by the Republican
party, and elected without opposition Hisinde-
pendent. firm. and discriminating course en- :
deared him to the people at large, and when he
retired from the bench he received the com.
mendation of the members of the bar
and the people, for the prompt and impartial
manner he exhibited toward all with whom he
came in contact Ever since his retirement
from the bench his practice had been extensive
and lucrative Never an advocate the strong
bent of his mind inclined him to the careful
preparation of his pleadings. and in this partlcu-
lar, Judge Iglehart had few. if any, superiors
Tho Supreme Court reports, undoubtedly,
furnish the highest and most satisfactory evil
dence of his ability as jurist.

At O'Clock tonight the river came to . stand
with ffty-six feet three inches 1t has been
drizzling all afternoon and evening" however,
and reports of rain continue to arrive from up

the heaviest sufferers. The Central Union depot
was abandoned last night, ana the six roads en-
tering it start from temporary stations. The
Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore, the Ohio
& Mississippi, the T. Y, P. s. O., and the Bee

already small freight blockade The city OK
Newport, across the river, is in a bad way. Three
hundred houses will be inundated in case of
further nine-inch rise. A large number OF man
ufactories on both sides of the river have shut
down. and it is estimated that 600 men are idle
on account of the high water. Steamboats, have

some have to land above or below them. The

The following sensational dispatch to the
Memphis AuaIdnche will be read with in
terest mingled with regret by many in this
city and vicinity, The Rev. Mr.. Graves
was for two years pastor of the Presbyterian
church in this city, and led an exemplary
life while here. He left here in 1883, and
left a good many friends who will be
grieved by the news of his downfall:
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Dec. l0.-The usually
quiet little village of Marion, this State,
has been all torn up this week over the es-
capades of Rev. p. B. Graves, prominent
minister, well known throughout the State
Graves, it seems, arrived there a few DAYS
since, accompanied by his wife and two
children. He put up at the King House and
Immediately proceeded to geG on a bowling
drunk. He frequented low groggeries and
cut up all kinds of pranks about the hotel,
fiourishing a revolver and threatening to
kill his wife and children and himself. The
citizens were Mortified at his actions
and finally determined to put a stop
to his capers. Accordingly a writ Of
lunacy was sworn out, and officers and
a number of citizens went to arrest him
He was found in beastly state of intoxi-
cation, but became terribly enraged when
an attempt to arrest him was made. Rev. W.
H. Richardson tried to quiet him, but was
struck in the face and cursed for his trouble
At last Graves was seized by three or four
strong men, carried TO Jail and locked in an
iron cage Next day Mr.. Graves uncle,
DR.. S. L. Alexander, Of Montgomery, one
of the most prominent physicians in the
State, was telegraphed for. He came i'm
mediately and at once made an effort 70

whisky was the trouble, and he failed in his
efforts. AS last resort the disgraced min
lister was furnished with a ticket and suffi-
cient money to carry him to San Antonio.
Tex, where he has brother. Mrs. Graves
and her children were taken home by DR..
Alexander All looked we'll for quiet end
ing of the affair, but Graves, instead of
going to San Antonio, landed in
Greensboro, small town twenty
miles from Marion, and is on a wild
drunk and threatening to kill himself
and anyone who annoys him. This is not
the first time he has been in trouble. A
few weeks ago Graves came to Birming-
ham and went on a big spree. He visited
several disreputable places in hack, finally
quarreling with a hackman over his paw
He was locked up in the station house over
night, but several ministers kept the matter
out of the papers and hushed things up
The church officials will not look into the
matter.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Right Rev. H.
G. Potter, Bishop of the Episcopal
churches in New York city is a man of al
most military bearing, decisive and quick
in speech and action, and yet with fine
swords edge polish about it all. A promi-
nent leading member of his church said of
him:
mo wonder things move under his direc-
ton; all Bishop Potter needs to do is to look
at thing to make it start"
His form is erect as an arrow, his hair is
iron-gray and he has the conventional Eng
lish cut to his whiskers by which almost all
Episcopal clergymen are distinguished. He
/ as more than his whiskels to make him
somewhat English in style, for his accent is
distinctively that of Britisher. HIS voice
is clear and resonant Like most of the
prominent clergymen of New York. who
have princely salaries, he lives in accord
ance with his income. He does not have a
house to himself, but he rents fiat in mag
nificent building where some of the very
wealthy people Of New York have their resi-
dences. 1t is in the same building that
young George Gould established his house
hold soon after his marriage with Edith
Kingdcn, the actress. Rents in that build
ing vary from $4,000 to $1,000 year.

Ingersoll. He receives his regular parish
calls in the morning hours, excepting on
saturday and Monday. in the best parlors
OF his ultra-stylish home on West Fifty
sixth street. His conduct of the matters
That arise in the parish and that are pre-
sented to him in these calls is marked by
great tact and precision. He disposes of all
business of the above nature that cones
netore him much after the manner of a
Judge in court. He never seems in a hurry,
put never wastes a second between the sto-
RES and Enthusiastically rule that par
Ties shall see him in proper rotation accord
ing to the time of their calling. OF his house
nothing can be said further than that it is
one OF unusual elegance and comfort. His
income is rather above that of most sue
cessful business men. He not only has his
salary, which is said to be 10000 a year
from his church, but he gets handsome re-
Enumeration from the New York Ledger for
weekly contribution to the amount of
about column of matter to its pages. In
fact, his pay for the Ledger matter is quite
as much as most of the successful managing
editors of great dailles get in any part of
the country. His income is further in
creased by rather numerous contributions
TO the great periodicals of the country. DR..
Hall is essentially a society man. and if it
were not for his remarkable business ability
he would not be able to dispose of his parish
work with sufficient promptness and allow
him the social diversion which he takes.
His house is the scene of frequent receptions
and he goes out among fashionable people a
great deal. His manner of living is that of
formal society man. For instance, when
evening comes he puts on evening dress and
never fails to defer to the canons of society.
in all matters that appertain to formal in
tercourse with people. In his social rela-
tions he does not impress one as a clergy
man, yet knowing that that is his calling,
it is easy to see that his manner isinhuenced
by it. One who did not know that he was
clergyman might take him for a cult
waited man of wealth and leisure.
